[原文]AIO in the Linux kernel 2.6.11 on the PPC64 or IA64 architectures with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE enabled allows local users to cause a denial of service (system panic) via a process that executes the io_queue_init function but exits without running io_queue_release, which causes exit_aio and is_hugepage_only_range to fail.

漏洞描述

Linux Kernel on PPC64 or IA64 architectures contains a flaw that may allow a local or remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a program using the is_hugepage_only_range() function calls the io_queue_init() function then exits without calling the io_queue_release() function first. This may cause a kernel panic and will result in loss of availability of the system.
